| Notes | This M.S. thesis describes a study of the invasive Japanese eelgrass beds in Willapa Bay and Yaquina Bay. “The goals of this project were to 1) examine the community composition of a variety of available estuarine habitats in Willapa Bay, Washington, and Yaquina Bay, Oregon, via paired deployment of cameras and small fish traps; and 2) to explore the different management strategies used in the PNW and identify strengths and weaknesses associated with invasive species management, as indicated by short interviews with professionals working on Z. japonica.” (from the Abstract) Co-major professors were Brett R. Dumbauld and Flaxen Conway. |
